Description
The best-known HEAD model is the HEAD World Cup SL Protector. It is essential for technical racing:
Function and Utility
Role: To protect skiers' hands from violent and repeated impacts against slalom poles (gates).
Discipline: Essential in Slalom (SL), where the skier intentionally hits the pole with their hands to go around it faster (the cross-block or deflection technique).
Shock Reduction: The construction absorbs shocks, allowing the racer to stay focused on their line without being distracted by pain or impact.
Features
Material: Generally made of impact-resistant and highly durable high-impact material, capable of withstanding high-speed and low-temperature impacts.
Compatibility: The HEAD WC SL Protector model is often universal, designed to fit Junior and Adult aluminum slalom poles from the HEAD brand, and comes with the necessary mounting hardware.
Design: The design is optimized not to restrict hand movement while offering maximum protection.
In summary, it is the basic safety equipment for any slalom racer, protecting hands from the poles.
